Amos 3:9-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, 'Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see
the
great panic within her and
the
oppressions in her midst.
10
But they do not know how to do what is right,' declares the
Lord
, 'these who store up violence and devastation in their citadels.'
11
Therefore, this is what the Lord
God
says:
'An enemy, one surrounding the land,
Will take down your fortifications from you,
And your citadels will be looted.'
12
This is what the
Lord
says:
'Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel living in Samaria be snatched away—
With
the
corner of a bed and
the
cover of a couch!
13
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,'
Declares the Lord
God
, the God of armies.
King James Version
Chapter 3
9
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
10
For they know not to do right, saith the
Lord
, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11
Therefore thus saith the Lord
God
; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
12
Thus saith the
Lord
; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
13
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord
God
, the God of hosts,
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod
and on the citadels in the land of Egypt:
Assemble on the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great turmoil in the city
and the acts of oppression within it.
10
The people are incapable of doing right — this is the
Lord
’s declaration— those who store up violence and destruction
in their citadels.
11
Therefore, the Lord
God
says:
An enemy will surround the land;
he will destroy your strongholds
and plunder your citadels.
12
The
Lord
says:
As the shepherd snatches two legs
or a piece of an ear
from the lion’s mouth,
so the Israelites who live in Samaria
will be rescued
with only the corner of a bed
or the cushion of a couch.
13
Listen and testify against the house of Jacob— this is the declaration of the Lord
God
, the God of Armies.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
9
Announce this to the leaders of Philistia
and to the great ones of Egypt:
'Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria,
and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel.'
10
'My people have forgotten how to do right,'
says the
Lord
.
'Their fortresses are filled with wealth
taken by theft and violence.
11
Therefore,' says the Sovereign
Lord
,
'an enemy is coming!
He will surround them and shatter their defenses.
Then he will plunder all their fortresses.'
12
This is what the
Lord
says:
'A shepherd who tries to rescue a sheep from a lion’s mouth
will recover only two legs or a piece of an ear.
So it will be for the Israelites in Samaria lying on luxurious beds,
and for the people of Damascus reclining on couches.
13
Now listen to this, and announce it throughout all Israel, ' says the Lord, the
Lord
God of Heaven’s Armies.

9
Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great tumults within her,
and the oppressed in her midst."
10
"They do not know how to do right," declares the
Lord
,
"those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds."
11
Therefore thus says the Lord
God
:
"An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down your defenses from you,
and your strongholds shall be plundered."
12
Thus says the
Lord
: "As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed.
13
"Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob,"
declares the Lord
God
, the God of hosts,
New International Version
Chapter 3
9
Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
"Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people."
10
"They do not know how to do right," declares the
Lord
,
"who store up in their fortresses
what they have plundered and looted."
11
Therefore this is what the Sovereign
Lord
says:
"An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses."
12
This is what the
Lord
says:
"As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric from a couch. "
13
"Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob," declares the Lord, the
Lord
God Almighty.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
9
“Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the oppressed within her.
10
For they do not know to do right,’
Says the
Lord
,
‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.’ ”
11
Therefore thus says the Lord
God
:
“An adversary
shall be
all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”
12
Thus says the
Lord
:
“As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch!
13
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord
God
, the God of hosts,
